rHE JUDGE AND THE JURY.

The administration Of justice In
Custer county has ever been a source
of criticism to the people; burdened
for years psst with an overloaded
docket, and hampered by frequent
changes on the bench 1t has seemed to
be an impossible thing to reach that
stage where the time allotted TO our
terms would suffice for the adjudication
ofsuch litigation as had matured In the
intervals between terms. Added to
this our juries have, whether justly or
not, gained the ~unenvisble reputation
of turning alleged criminals loose
with or without cause. The last term
Of court was prolific in instances Of
this nature, and 1t is therefore not 10 be
wondered at that when evidences o, a
return to this habit are shown 1T the
present term that the court should
feel discouraged. The somewhat re-
markable scenein court yesterday q 1.-THE
conclusion of the Cotter conspiracy trial
is the result of this very questionable
motor ETY.. As To the merits Of the
case we know nothing. net having
heard any of the evidence, but we are
informed on competent and reliable
authority that q clear case of circum.
stsntial evidence was made Ly the
prosecution. or course this class of
evidence is not the best in the world,
but is entitled to due credence In the
absence Of better. The question Of
Mr.. Cotter's guilt or innocence no
longer concerns the public. as a jury
OF his peers have declared him inno-
cent, but while We ascribe no wrong
or improper action to that jury, IL Is
sincerity to be regretted that possibly
by the plausible substitution Of an in
surance company as plaintiff instead
Of the territory, they were led away
from the true status OF the case aud
thereby induced to bring in n verdict
20 ut variance with what seems to
have been the evidence. The attitude
assumed by the court il not. we be-
lieve, without precedent and is Ger.
tainly without prejudice TO Mr.. Cot
ter personally. The abstrsc, principle
set forth by 1t, is that the arrest and
trial Of alleged criminals falls little
short Of n farce in this county, and
that without benefits Of any kind,
even of example;the costs.of such trials
are term after term piled up in our
column of Indebtedness to be borne by
The patient and loDg.sufiering tax
payer. and the moral is. il We cannot
convict, let us omit these costly and
useless trials.

precious miracle under his coat over

tude OF his room; his hand will tremble

MEN OF ONE IDEA.

they Are often Nuisances tn Every Body
I;ut themselves.
Poe has observed that every man
has pet word or phrase which he uses
frequently (the "impalpable name" Of
Carlyle and the "lucidity' Of Matthew
Arnold are instances in pOinD; and il
it is almost equally certain that every
man has pet idea. In some it is
difficult TO discover what that one idea
is; in others it is very prominent The
desire 10 master ones trade or pro-
fession is, we need hardly say, very
laudable; but when man has no
thoughts for any thing else, and can
not open his mouth without talking
"shop," he is simply an intOlcrablc
bore. Lord Bcaconsfeld. indeed, de-
fines the true bore as "that man who
thinks the world is only interested in
one subject because he can only COM
prehend one.
Most notable men are handed down
to posterty by their one idea; but
there are many exceptions to this rule.
We are told of celebrated comedian
who, by some strange infatuation,
thought himself destined TO excel in
tragedy, and was much mortified when
on benefit nights he played Romeo and
the audience insisted on receiving il as
n burlesquc. The one idea of Charles
Readc is well known. He was not con-
tent with his fame as Il novelist, but
wanted to become famous aS adramatist
also. and there are few living authors
who are quite rs ambitious.
Probably one of the most remarkable
men of one idea was Lord Palmcrston,
who could think of little else but for-
eign politics. An amusing story is
told of him in the "Grcvillc Memoirs.
"The Queen says Grcyille. "told
Clarendon an anccdotc of Palmcrston.
showing how exclusively absorbed he
is with foreign politics. Her Majesty
had been much interested and alarmed
at the strikes and troubles in the north,
and asked Palmcrston for details about
them, when she found that he knew
nothing Mt all. One morning. after

Pray, Lord Palmcrston, have you any

madam; ! have heard nothing; but IL
seems certain the Turks have crossed
the Danube. y" The fact that Palmer
ston at the time was not Foreign Min
ister, but Home Secretary, adds point
To the anccdOte.
Some of our judges are men of one
idea. A short time ago n learned Judge
had never heard the name of one Of
the most popular actors IF the day.
and also asked "What is baccarat?"
which was mentioned in the course of u
ease tried before him. At length. how
ever, there are signs that their Lord
ships are becoming conscious of what
is going on in the world, and that they
occasionally glance through a news
paper When one of the counsel in n
recent case called Mr.. j. L. Toolc and
said: "You are known as Mr.. j. l..
Toolc, the lessee of Toolc's Thcater."
